Chapter 456 Honey (please vote!)
Ji Xue is dealing with the newly brought casserole. This casserole is obviously quite old. Not only does it look old on the outside, the color on the inside has also completely changed. It was obviously used frequently, just like those purple clay pots used for brewing medicine for many years.
Ji Xue is processing a small piece of lumpy honey. Taifenglou has a lot of this honey because it is needed when making Watan Huadiao Chicken.
The outer layer of Watan Huadiao Chicken has a thick layer of honey, which is much thicker than ordinary dishes that are brushed with honey. This is because when making Wa Tan Huadiao Chicken, you not only need to brush a layer of ordinary liquid honey on the surface, but also knead the lump honey into small pieces and stick it on top.
Block honey will melt when exposed to heat, and because it melts very slowly, it will slowly adhere to the surface of the chicken. Two different types of honey blend to form a thick outer layer of honey that firmly locks the Watan Huadiao Chicken. Only Mr. Tan Weizhou can come up with this method.
Wa Tan Huadiao Chicken has relatively high requirements for honey. The two types of honey currently used by Tai Feng Lou were determined by Ji Xue after repeated experiments.
But now Ji Xue didn't handle the chicken. She didn't even take out the chicken. There was only an empty casserole in front of her.
"What are you doing making honey now? You haven't started handling the chicken yet. It's inconvenient because your hands are dirty. Do you want me to help you get the chicken?" Jiang Feng asked, "When will your friend come over? I'm afraid. The waiter may not be at work, so ask Xia Xia to pick her up at the door.”
"She...she should be here soon. She just went to the hotel to put down her luggage and take care of some things, maybe twenty or thirty minutes." Ji Xue was a little unsure, and the movements of her hands did not stop.
"Okay, I'll ask Xia Xia to pick her up at the door in more than 20 minutes." Jiang Feng nodded and prepared to go back and teach Ji Xia how to make fried noodles. "It just so happens that I will teach Xia Xia how to make fried noodles today. Then I will ask Xia Xia to make them for her. A bowl, and show your sister’s craftsmanship to your friends.”
"Yes." Ji Xue nodded with a smile, holding the lid of the casserole with her left hand to keep it stable, and spread the newly processed chunks of honey slightly closer to the edge of the lid.
Jiang Feng:! ! !
Why did Ji Xue put honey on the lid of the casserole?
Is it possible that there is honey on the lid of the casserole they make with Watan Huadiao Chicken?
Jiang Feng carefully recalled the video tutorials he had watched. He didn't have much impression, but there might be some. The casseroles Tan Weizhou used were old casseroles that had been used for many years. The inner layer had long been stained with a very dark color, and even the lid was the same as the current casserole.
If it was just a little honey and not a lot on the lid, Jiang Feng might not really notice.
Could it be that this was the first time Ji Xue saw it?
What kind of eyes are these? Only then can you see such an inconspicuous thing on the lid at a glance.
Jiang Feng felt as if he had captured the essence of the Huadiao Chicken in the Watank. He only needed to stare at the inside of the lid a few more times when he went back to watch the video tutorial to see the secret.
Jiang Feng looked back at Ji Xue. She seemed to be not very satisfied with the honey she just applied. She wiped it off and started to process the honey again.
Jiang Feng returned to his cooking table, and Ji Xia tasted the yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce according to his instructions, and he obviously preferred sweet noodle sauce.
Jiang Feng could tell with the naked eye that there was less sauce on the front of the two bowls.
"Xia Xia, you really have to eat less. It doesn't matter if you eat more rice. It's better not to eat snacks." Jiang Feng said seriously. He was really worried that Xia Xia would develop in the direction of his two cousins.
Nothing else matters. Jiang Feng doesn't discriminate against fat people. He is the outlier in the Jiang family.
The main reason is that Xia Xia can be beaten as a bad girl. If she really grows to the size of Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing, Jiang Feng is a little worried that if there are differences in teaching in the future, he may not be able to beat her.
Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng in confusion, and then at the sweet noodle sauce in front of him.
snack?
It turns out that Peking calls these snacks.
Jiang Feng returned to the right path and continued to complete his unfinished teaching tasks. He took some sweet noodle sauce and put it into a bowl, mixed the previously processed ingredients with the sauce, and fried it in the pan.
Fried sauce is actually a very troublesome thing. Although it is dry fried in a small bowl, it actually takes a lot of time because it can only be fried over low heat. It also requires someone to watch at all times, which is indeed a big test on the chef's patience and attention.
Jiang Feng paid attention to the time while frying the sauce. He felt that there was nothing he could teach Ji Xia when frying the sauce. When it came time to cook the sauce, he had to do it himself, practice it, and feel it. Summarize experience from failure, but it might as well be that some people are so talented that they succeed once and have no chance to fail, let alone sum up the experience of failure.
Since there is nothing to explain, the process of frying the sauce becomes even more boring. Ji Xia had nothing to eat or listen to. He could only stare at the fried sauce in the pot, watching it dry little by little. He did not dare to disturb Jiang Feng out loud for fear of disturbing his fried sauce. For a moment, he felt like he was back in school.
Jiang Feng looked at the time and said to Ji Xia as soon as 20 minutes was up: "Your sister's friend should be arriving soon. Xia Xia, go to the door to pick her up. This sauce will continue to explode for a while. Come back after picking her up. Maybe she can still Just in time for the fried sauce to come out of the pan, let’s see how deep it needs to be fried before it comes out of the pan.”
"Okay Master!" Ji Xia ran out of the kitchen happily like a student who had finished math class for 45 minutes.
Jiang Feng continued to guard the pot of fried soy sauce boredly. He could understand Ji Xia's feeling. He also felt that it was more interesting to pick up people outside than to watch the pot of fried soy sauce.
At least you can still see the road outside when you are standing at the door. The movement of cars on the road is greater than the fried sauce in the pot.
The first time he fried sauce, he was inexperienced and almost died in front of the pot.
Ji Xia continued this for more than 20 minutes. Jiang Feng felt that the fried sauce in the pot was almost ready and would be dry if it continued to fry, but he did not see her come back.
Jiang Feng was feeling regretful. Xia Xia couldn't see the fried sauce and missed an opportunity this time. She had to follow him through the whole process next time, staring at the fried sauce in the pot and watching it fry to the right temperature before she could get another chance. Ji Xia came back when he saw the chance of frying the fried sauce.
"Master, I sent people to their seats." Ji Xia was still holding something in her hand when she came back.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Jiang Feng asked.
Ji Xia spread out her hands, holding a piece of Dove chocolate.
"The sister just gave it to me." Ji Xia said.
Jiang Feng smiled and asked Ji Xia to put the chocolate away. If it was too close to the pot, the temperature would be too high and it would turn into chocolate sauce.
After a few dozen seconds, Jiang Feng felt that the time had come, so he turned off the heat and stirred the fried sauce in the pot.
"Did you smell it? It's probably just this aroma that makes it ready for cooking. Just looking at the fried sauce is useless, you also have to smell it. Even if you can't see it with the naked eye, you can smell something with your nose," Jiang Feng said.
Ji Xia came closer and smelled it, thinking that the fried noodles must be delicious, after all, the fried noodles were so fragrant.
Ji Xue's side had already started making Huadiao Chicken. Jiang Feng guessed that it would take some time before Ji Xue's side could cook it, so he didn't let Ji Xia make the noodles now. After all, he couldn't take the lead.
Jiang Feng walked towards Ji Xue.
"Ji Xue, the menu is not open yet, so your friend can't order. How about I make her some random dishes and let her try our Tai Feng Restaurant's signature dishes?" Jiang Feng shamelessly put a golden seal on his face. , as if Tai Feng Lou’s signature dishes were cooked by him.
"There's no need to go to such trouble. She's alone. In fact, I'll make her a Watan Huadiao Chicken, and then Xia Xia will make her a small bowl of noodles with soybean paste. That's enough. She may not be able to finish it all." Ji Xue declined politely. .
Jiang Feng also felt that it made sense: "How about this, I'll make her a crab-stuffed orange. After you finish cooking, go out and eat with her. It's not good for your friend to leave her at the dining table to eat alone. Just so I can make Crab Stuffed Orange three times at a time, you two One for each and one for Xia Xia. This dish is seasonal and will not be available after this period. Since your friend comes to Tai Feng Restaurant, she must try more special dishes. You are the chef of our restaurant. You can’t be the first to lose your reputation.”
"Thank you." Ji Xue thanked him.
Jiang Feng returned to the cooking table again and said to Ji Xia: "Xia Xia, go pick out three oranges for me and teach you how to stuff crab-stuffed oranges again."
"Master, aren't we going to make fried noodles now?" Ji Xia asked.
"Don't be in a hurry. Make the crab-stuffed oranges first, and then make the fried noodles after that." Jiang Feng said.
"Oh." Ji Xia obediently went to pick oranges, but she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
Master, everything is good, but this idea changed too quickly. One second I said it was like this, and the next second it changed.
Master is really a fickle person. (End of chapter)
